Abstract

This article examines the adaptation and transformation of local knowledge in the agricultural production of the Ma people in Lam Dong Province. The findings indicate that many forms of traditional knowledge continue to be maintained while being adjusted in response to the market economy and natural resource management policies. These changes reflect the community’s efforts to preserve culturally rooted practices while responding to new economic, social, and environmental conditions. Based on the findings, the article proposes several measures to preserve, promote, and effectively integrate local knowledge into sustainable agricultural development in Lam Dong Province.

Keywords: Local knowledge, Ma people, agricultural production, adaptation, transformation, Lam Dong Province.
